Lawrence Jembere Poem
Friendship between two people of the opposite sex,
I just don't get it.
I don't get why u enjoy talking to me more than your boyfriend.
I don't get why you think cheating only begins in kissing or having sex with a non-boyfriend friend,
so is everything else just normal:
the way you look at me!;
the way you laugh to my boring jokes!;
the way you call me all the time, with nothing to say for that matter;
the way you cannot spend a day without talking to me?!.
After all this you then say,
"You were not supposed to fall in love with me,
you know we are friends, and I have a boyfriend".
Don't blame me for falling in love with you,
it’s your fault.
What was I supposed to do when you submitted yourself to me?.
What we have right now is a Godly non communicated relationship.
Do not tell me not to complicate our friendship when it’s already complicated;
actually it’s you who is complicating our love relationship.
Your word and your heart are speaking different languages.
You love me with your heart but not with your mouth.
Tell your mouth to convince your heart first before it convinces me.
Anyway, you cannot have the best of both worlds,
its either you let me go, or you let him go.
I, God, am a jealous God.
You cannot have a relationship with the devil and still want me close to you,
it doesn't work like that.
Its either you are his or you are mine.
I cannot be a friend with benefits to you.
Deep inside you know you love me,
you've just had a relationship with the devil quite too long.
Now you tell me that I deserve better!.
If I should only give my love to the one who deserves it,
then definitely I will be single all my life.
I do not let go of what I love.
Ask job and he will tell you that once you taste my love
and accept to have a relationship with me, faithfulness is inevitable.
My love and grace are sufficient for you.
I will insert in your DNA, genes of contentment, joy, faithfulness and love;
till eternal life brings us closer.

Lawrence Jembere Poem
He spoke, I heard but I didn't listen;
He then kept quiet, I listened but I didn't hear.
His silence broke my heart, or rather, broke into my heart
I guess I was getting used to his annoying still small voice, always attempting to tell me what to do and what not to do.
I always took his clichés for granted;
He would always say statements like, " please listen, what you are doing is wrong, its not too late to turn back from sin!".
I always hated him for turning my sweet moments into awkward moments.
He always made me regret doing the things l loved the most,
I am not surprised why I regret ever ignoring him.
My virginity was lost while l was trying to ignore him,
My heart was broken while trying to ignore him,
My soul was lost while trying to ignore him and now I am left with nothing but addictions and his silence.
Thank God because his silence has made me realize how deep I am in sin, I know its my iniquity that has separated me from him.
When I thought I was pushing him away from me, rather, I was pushing myself away from him, and that gives me hope coz I know I will always find him right where I left him: at the throne of mercy.
I remember him saying that if I confess my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive me,
So I guess now that I have another chance, when he speaks, not only will I listen, I will also do as he says
